Start with what the Hongqi E-HS9 is: a 5-door SUV, built from 2020, in the decade the industry is turning electric. What it meant takes a little longer. The shape is credited to Yangfeng Ding / Giles Taylor (Production).
Where it came from
The Hongqi E-HS9 (Chinese: 红旗E-HS9) is a battery electric full-size luxury crossover SUV produced by Chinese automobile manufacturer Hongqi, a subsidiary of FAW Group.
Under the skin
the output is 321 –. On the scales it comes to 2700 kg. That is roughly 119 horsepower per tonne: brisk everyday performance. The layout matters: drive goes to all four wheels, which is what lets the power be used on a wet road. The wheelbase is 3,110 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
In context
In the Hongqi line-up the Hongqi E-HS9 has a clear place: the factory was Changchun, Jilin, China. The cars a buyer would have weighed it against include the Porsche Taycan, the Nissan Z, the Aston Martin DBX. Nearby in the Hongqi catalogue sit the Hongqi and the Hongqi 774.
